Form Result To Another Form - Class Contains A Form That Have Buttons
Apr 9, 2010
I designed a class contains a form that have buttons. When i click any button this function runs
Public Sub BtnClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
result = CType(sender, Button).Text
[CODE]...
In another project I imported this class. I called the method that shows the form in my class. I need to store the 'result' variable in another variable in the new project. How can It be done.
I have 7 Windows forms.The order of the forms is defined within a configuration file.I want to place buttons on each form that will show the next available options.The Next button will move the next form in the list.The Back button will move to the previous form in the list. The Finish button will execute the final piece of code.The Cancel button will exit the application.If the user is on the first form, then there is no Back button.If the user is on the last form, then there is no Next button, but there is a Finish button.
Is there a better way to make a form with multiple buttons opening different things than having a form that has lots group boxes for each tab. So in the begining each box will be invisible and when you click the button the corresponding group box will become visible. Is there any other way?It will be like a background image and it'll have buttons that will mask it with invisible buttons. when the button is clicked it will open the corresponding group box.
I'm making a game maker, and I just need to know how to put the buttons on the form. where to add the button code in the Form1.Designer.vb file? I just need to know what the syntax of InitializeComponent is.
I've got a pretty general question about the best practice in passing an object reference to a Form in VB.NET. My form is a dialog and I've created an overload ShowDialog method, where I pass an Object into it ByRef.
The trouble is, I want to be able to refer to that Object throughout my dialog Class and not just in the ShowDialog method. For instance, some of my Events for controls on the form, need to reference that object.
I know I could create a local Private variable in the Class and assign it to the passed value, and then use that value. However I'm thinking this isn't very efficient because it would (I believe) create a new copy of the Object (which is a complex, large class in itself).
What is the best way to access a value of a control within a form outside of the form class. I have a lot of functions defined in a module, one of these functions requires a series of values from controls in my main form such as the FolderBrowserDialog.SelectedPath element. I understand that these cannot be accessed in the format form.FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath and that they need to be accessed using a delegate. This is the part I am stuck with.
Im Using VB 2008. I have MsgBox() statements in all Mouse & Form Click events to TEST & NOTHING FIRES during Form Load when I click on Form or Button Controls !!! The Form Load event contains code for Displaying the Label.Text control many times with changes in the Text to simmulate annimation.
I'm using a dialog form with two buttons and two Radio buttons.I'm oppening this Dialog when a button is clicked on the parent form.My situattion is when the Dialog opens the code in the button event continues to execute, but I only want it to continue to execute only after a button from the dialog form have been clicked
Private Sub btnSave_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSave.Click If multipleEXT = 2 Then Extension.Show()
The following code does create a form within a form and does place NotePad inside the child form. You have to manually start NotePad prior to execution (I work on that later) but the code does workŠ My problem is now I want to manipulate the properties of notepad i.e. focus, size, location, etc. but I cannot figure out how to reference notepad and its properties.
I have a form being called form several forms using ShowDialog().
1. Is there a way for called form to know which form called it by receiving a code or key from the calling form?
2. The calling form has a gridview. How can the called form pick up a column's value from the currently highlighted row in gridview in the calling form?
i have my main child form open. then i show the new form:
[Code]...
but when the form opens it flickers a lot. so i want move the new form behind the main form while it loads so the user does not see the flicker. once it is done loading i will set the form to topmost. how do i move the new form behind the main form?
I have a tool window that I want to stay above the main application form, but not stay on top of all windows forms. Similar to the floating properties window for visual studio - it always stays on top of the main VS window, but if I select another program, like internet explorer, the floating properties window will be behind internet explorer.
What I have is an application that has several forms that may be displayed at the same time. I have a Messages form that displays messages generated by the code in the form, that gives the status of the application. Obviously, the user would not normally be working on this form, but they may want it to be visible to see the status messages from the program (File saved confirmations, etc). So, my two options right now are I can set the form to be on top of all other windows forms or, when the user clicks on the main application form, the messages form would be hidden by the main form.
My VB application is behaving strangley. I have form with fairly large number of controls. I am using case against radio buttons. after curtain number of buttons, it stops responding to more radio buttons.
Then I tried to split controls in to 2 form but now my form.showdialog() too now working properly. It takes new from names but show the old form when running.
I've created a form which correctly displays all my fields in a recordset. I can scroll through them, add new records, delete records, etc. etc. and everything is fine. I now want to add a Search field to the form so that when the user enters a search string, it automatically searches through the dataset and refreshes the display to display the appropriate search result (i.e. populates the currently open form with the appropriate record).I have a simple database, and I have created a form (not a datagrid) for displaying the records (and to make it easy to add new records and browse through with the next and precious record buttons). BUT, to put a simple textbox on the toolstrip and enable the user to write something in it and then click a button to display the entire record containing that "something" seems imposible.
I have eleven columns in my table, and I want to search the one with the Primary Key, so there will be no confusing wich record to display.
I am facing a problem displaying the result of my "select *" query on the form . Here is my code:
[code]...
But when I write this code and run my form I am not able to see any records present in my database tables being displayed on my form. I have inserted a DataGridView on my form . What changes should I do to my code ?
I'm having trouble transfer a result form one form to another in the same project. I did use the Module but some how the result did not shows in the second from.
I have put this code in the global form Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form. And then in the form that will inherit this from the global Inherits MenuStrip. "MenuStrip" is what the global form is called. But keep getting this error: Error1Base class 'MenuStrip' specified for class 'Lesson2' cannot be different from the base class 'System.Windows.Forms.Form' of one of its other partial types.
I've created a custom MessageBox (a Form), that has buttons Yes and No. There is a function popUp() to show the MessageBox. I would call the MsgBox in a parent as follows: CustomMessageBox.popUp()
Now I want the message box to return a value: Dim a as Intger = CustomMessageBox.popUp() But this should only return once the user clicks a button in the message box.
My popup sub: Dim thread As New Threading.Thread(AddressOf GetResult) Public Function PopUp(Optional ByVal ErrorMessage As String = "", Optional ByVal Title As String = "", Optional ByVal ButtonType As ButtonType = ButtonType.OK, Optional ByVal MessageType As MessageType = MessageType.None) [Code] ..... gotResult is a Boolean = false. It the user clicks a button gotResult is changed to true. result is a integer containing the number of the button clicked.
When I run this code, the result is returned, even if the user doesn't click a button. I understand why, because the main thread of the form is not "paused" while the user has not clicked a button. How can I pause the message box itself, until a button was clicked? I've tried this:
Public Function PopUp(Optional ByVal ErrorMessage As String = "", Optional ByVal Title As String = "", Optional ByVal ButtonType As ButtonType = ButtonType.OK, Optional ByVal MessageType As MessageType = MessageType.None) [Code] .....
But now the whole message box is captured in a loop and the message box is like disabled, because it waits for the loop to end, so the user can't click anything.
I experience some difficulties with property Item of DataGridView component.

How to design an application in VB.NET such that a form has 2 command buttons. When user makes a mouse-move event on commandbutton1 the color of commnd button1 changed slowly to RED. Green for commandbutton2.
In my program I want to have two different 'modes', each has its own form. My main form in the program is 'Normal Mode', but there is also a mode called 'Basic Mode' which has a smaller form. How can I switch between the two forms (using buttons) by closing the other without my program closing on me?
